Newsletter banner

Welcome to our August 2026 Newsletter.

A busy August is coming, we have our next Intraclub, the Mixed Triples Tournament, the Jolly Roger friendly with Mt Macedon and a Music Fun Night. The Annual General Meeting will be on 5 September, all members are encouraged to attend.

Music Fun Night

Music meisters Leigh and Andy are taking us on musical journey Saturday 8 August at 7pm. Come to a fun evening of  listening, singing, dancing, quizzes, games, prizes and hopefully some mini performances. You might like to dress up in a music theme! Feel free to join in as much or as little as you choose – nothing is a must do.

We would love to have some of our talented members volunteer to perform a song, a dance, play an instrument – individual or group. We also want to hear about your favourite music. Tell Leigh in your RSVP, if you have a favourite song/music piece/musician or if you would like to provide some musical input on the night.

There will be a supper break, please bring a small share plate of finger food for the supper table. BYO drinks.

Email Leigh here to RSVP

Jolly Roger Friendly Competition with Mt Macedon

It is our turn to host the annual Jolly Roger Tournament against Mt Macedon on Saturday 29 August.   It's always a fun, friendly competition between our two clubs. If you don't normally play in tournaments, this is the competition for you! All members are welcome to join in. 

Please register your interest with Ken so we can plan to have even numbers with Mt Macedon. The long standing tradition is that the host club provides lunch and the visitors provide afternoon tea.
